“And David went on, and grew great, and the LORD God of hosts was with him.”
King James Version (KJV)
5:8 To the gutter - That is, whosoever scaleth the fort, or getteth up to the top of it, where the gutter was. That are hated - The Jebusites, and the lame, and the blind, Who had probably themselves insulted him, and blasphemed God. He shall be - These words are fitly supplied out of #1Chron 11:6|, where they are expressed. They said &c. - That is, whence it became a proverb, or a common saying, used by David, and others, the blind and the lame Jebusites, were set to keep the house, that is, the fort of Zion; and to keep others from coming into it; but now they are shut out of it, and none of them, either of the Jebusites, or of blind and lame persons, shall be admitted to come into it again. Which David might ordain, to keep up the memory of this great exploit, and of the insolent carriage of the Jebusites.
5:9 Millo - Which seems to have been the town - hall or, state - house, near the wall of the city of Zion.
5:12 King over Israel - That he might be a blessing to them, and they might be happy under his administration.
And Dauid went on, and grew great, and the Lord God of hosts was with him.
